California License Req for Class A Motorhomes

Also just to note, the description I gave you applies to vehicle length as it applies to drivers license requirements. When you measure for vehicle length as it applies to being on roads that are restricted to vehicles that are 40 foot max, (I'm going from memory here and haven't looked it up recently) then mirrors and ladders still don't count, but things like a bike rack or any type of cargo hanging off the vehicle does count. So you could potentially be legal to drive without the special license, but not legal to drive on roads like Highway 1 that have a 40 foot max vehicle length restriction.
